From an emotional perspective, I want to buy DVC. From a financial one, I'm not sure it makes sense. We're two adults and four young kids. Right now, our youngest is still under 3, so we fit into rooms for 5 + a baby, but that won't last forever. In a couple of years, we'll only fit in the cabins or 2-bedrooms, from what I can see. We've stayed moderate and deluxe, and prefer deluxe. We won't be getting two value or moderate rooms, since we prefer to stay together.
We take long trips, 10 or 11 nights, about once a year, sometimes twice. So far, every time we've gone, we've used the free dining promotion, which works out great for our family (we love the dining plan and would buy it anyway). Looking forward to the future, should we buy DVC or keep trying our luck with promotions? It seems like using promotions may be better cost-wise, but will that change once we officially become 6? Any insights are greatly appreciated! FWIW, I'm considering AKV mostly resale with a smaller direct add on for the annual pass discounts.
